Final Resting Place, Ah-Shi-Sle-Pah Wilderness, New Mexico, USA
After driving on long, dusty washboard roads, far from any major city, the road ends and the trail begins. The trail is fairly easy, with not much elevation change from the parking area at 6,260 ft (1,908 m). The morning we arrived in mid-April, the sky was blue, and the temperature was cool in the […]
Forest Rays, BR Hills Wildlife Sanctuary, Mysore, India
We encountered this scene during an early morning wildlife safari. I have seen sunlit shafts in the past but never quite as dramatic as this one. Some research indicates that this is an atmospheric phenomenon caused when light interacts with airborne water droplets and foliage. This usually occurs when the Sun is at a low […]
St Giovanni Church, Ranui, Santa Magdalena, Dolomites, Italy
I often travel to Trentino-Alto Adige to take photos, and I often go in the summer, which isn’t exactly the best time. That year, I was staying at a hotel in Santa Magdalena, and that valley has several interesting locations. One of them is definitely the Church of San Giovanni in Ranui. For three consecutive […]
The Endless Dawn, Auronzo di Cadore, Belluno, Italy
A narrow wooden bridge reaches into silence, stopping just before the water, as if inviting a step that may never be taken. The lake lies still and opaque, reflecting a fractured light that struggles through heavy clouds. Beyond it, the Tre Cime di Lavaredo rise like a dark presence—solid, immovable, almost watchful—their form softened by […]
Spring Green, Comox Valley, Vancouver Island, BC, Canada
While driving to Comox I noticed the sun lighting up the grass making it shimmer. I was so impressed, I returned home to get my camera. This wonderful glimmering grass just had to be captured. I have never seen the Courtenay River Estuary looking so bright. When I returned about an hour latter nothing had […]
Ahkka Massif, Stora Sjofallet, Sweden
On the morning of the third day of our eight-day ski traverse through the vast Arctic landscapes of the Swedish North, we woke up to fully overcast skies. As we prepared our breakfast in our stormproof tents, we noticed the winds picking up, and the sky became more animated. Swapping my wide angle for the […]
Douro Calm Waters, Baiao, Porto, Portugal
The Douro, the third-longest river in the Iberian Peninsula, once a free and wild river, was tamed with the construction of dams. Between them, the waters are now calm, stirred only by the wind or by the passage of an occasional boat that causes a momentary swell. The entire riverside landscape evokes calm and introspection. […]

Situated in County Galway, Connemara boasts breathtaking landscapes that showcase Ireland’s natural beauty. The image features Pine Island on Derryclare Lough, bathed in the warm hues of an autumn […]

A beautiful sunset in Malta, at Miġra l-Ferħa.
Winter Time, Vancouver Island, BC, Canada
Where Thelwood Creek enters Buttle Lake is one of my favorite spots to visit with a camera in hand. As this location is close to my home in Courtenay, also on Vancouver Island, I go there often. I have photographed this area in all seasons. On this December day, I was surprised to see a […]
